[Author's note: I know I took me a long time to put up my third chapter,
but I was overseas for a couple of days. Sorry, guys. But please enjoy my
3rd chapter.

When the duo arrived at their dorm, they were met with a surprise. On the table between the two couches there were chocolates, sweets, soda and two tubs of ice cream. There was also a note.
"Ms. Granger & Mr. Malfoy, I, Professor Dumbledore is very happy that both of you have accepted the once in a lifetime offer to be Head Boy & Head Girl in Hogwarts. To reward you two, I have conjured up chocolates, sweets, ice cream, and soda. You two must me hungry, having ate very little during the Feast as you came in late. Enjoy your snacks. And one more thing, don't stay up too late, classes starts tomorrow morning. Ciao!" The note was written in Dumbledore's distinct handwriting.
Draco and Hermione looked at each other and rushed forward. They fell into their respective sofas and started munching on the chocolate bars. They talked all night, until the junk food on the table slowly started to dwindle. They talked about school, about life, about their families and also Hermione urged Draco not to be so mean to her best friends.
Draco was still captivated by Hermione's beauty, both inner and outer. He fell under her charm and agreed to not insult Ron and Harry anymore. They fell asleep on the couches, Hermione first, then Draco.
Both dreamt about each other that night, and Hermione thinking, "He's not only handsome, and charming, but also friendly and amusing. He's not what everyone thinks he is."
~ Hermione's Point Of View. ~
"Draco! Wake up! We're going to be late for Potions!" Hermione yelled, shaking Draco. She just awoke, and Breakfast was almost half over. Draco was still sprawled across the couch, sleeping soundly. Hermione shook him harder.
"What? Is there a fire?!" He awoke, mumbling sleepily. When he saw Hermione's face he sat up. "What?"
"We're going to be late. Hurry up, get ready. Snape's going to kill us if we're late." With a flick of her wand, the couch quickly tidied itself up. She hurried up the stairs. So did Draco. 10 minutes later, they were leaving the dorm, hurrying towards the dungeon where the potions class took place.
"Good of you to join us, Mr. Malfoy. And, Ms. Granger. Hurry up and take a seat at wherever is available." Snape instructed, a smirk on his face. Hermione glanced around the room. The only places available were right at the back. Without a moment's hesitation, she hurried to the back, exchanging a glance with Harry and Ron, smiling briefly. Draco quickly followed suit.
"Okay, today we'll be working on a potion that is quite difficult, I can assure you. If you drink it up, you'll be able to levitate yourself without a wand, since all the ingredients are from flying creatures. You'll be working with whoever you are seated with now. And, I don't want anyone to trade places behind my back. I'll know. You'll need a feather from a unicorn's wing, a quarter of a cup of a phoenix's blood, a thin slice of meat from a falcon and hair from a bat. Plus two cups of water. And, to make this difficult, you have to think of a spell that I taught you last year. Once you're done, you may show it to me, and if it's correct, you may leave. Understood?" He finished, glaring around the room. His students nodded.
Pair by pair, students began to come out to get the items that were assembled neatly on the teacher's table. As Harry walked back to his seat, he purposely walked by Hermione's table.
"Best of luck, Herm." He shot a sympathetic look to her and a glare to Draco as if to emphasize on his point. She smiled and shrugged. Then she got up to get the items. When she arrived back to her seat, Draco had already heat up the cauldron. He gave her a grin that she felt all the way to her toes.
Together, head to head, they read the instructions written in their Potions textbooks. After putting in all the ingredients into the cauldron, including the water, and allowing to boil slowly, they sat down to think of a spell that would conclude the day's work. Suddenly Hermione stood up.
"I know the perfect spell, Draco!" She cried out excitedly. "Querilious wingify!" She continued without stopping, pointing her wand to the mixture in the cauldron. Draco leaped up from his chair. Side by side, they watched the change in the mixture. It started to bubble rapidly and instead of the dark blue it was before; it slowly began to change into a silvery orange mixture. Hermione turned off the heat.
"This is it, Draco! We did it! I'm sure it's correct!" Hermione whispered happily.
"Yup, you were a genius, Hermione. I wouldn't have thought of that." He replied, squeezing her hand. He grabbed a small bottle a poured a little bit of the mixture into the bottle. Together, they walked to the front of the class to show their professor.
"Professor Snape? I think we did it." Draco called out to Snape, who was busy attending to Seamus, who accidentally dropped his pen into the cauldron. Snape turned and walked briskly to Hermione and Draco. Draco handed the bottle to Snape.
"Impressive. You both may leave." Snape nodded to the two with a dismissive wave. They went back to their table to pack up their stuff. They walked past Harry's table, where Ron was frantically flipping through the pages of his potions textbook.
"Hey, Harry, Ron. Ron, you can't find the answer in there. It depends on your memory, and whether you paid attention last year." Hermione leaned in to whisper. She tossed them her potions notebook. "You guys may need this. Give it back to me during Lunch." With that, she and Draco hurried out.
